Designing a functional and stylish home office

My husband and I both work full-time in corporate roles – myself in marketing and him in the consulting space. We are usually based here in SF (me) and all over the world (him!) but we do get to work from home occasionally. So having a quiet serene space where we can focus and get our “real” work done is critical!

I had these grand plans of going all out girlie glamor on this home office but Jon gave me a firm NO on that front!!!! I get it – how can he focus when surrounded by pretty pink shiny things??!!! (actually come to think of it how will I?!!).

So its back to clean and serene…here’s where I am currently landing on the design front.

Clean and modern office space

I love the idea of an all white space and maybe adding in some pattern with a funky wallpaper

I love the graphic nature of this space – its clean but has life in it through the subtle use of color.

I love the way this space has been brightened through the use of prints and artwork.

Hi there, we have a very similar design aesthetic…I am building a house and going over all these questions too. I actually found your site looking for cedar siding, but I just wrote a post on wallpaper and included that tree patterned one too. 🙂
